THE BEAST

Shrouded - Further Removed - Reviewed By occultblackmetalzine ! Check it out https://occultblackmetalzine.blogspot.com/2023/10/shroudedfurther-removed2023-ep-review.html

Shrouded  are  a  band  from  Australia  that  plays  a  very  aggressive  and  melodic  form  of  black  metal  and  this  is  a  review  of  their  self  released  2023  ep  "Further  Removed".

  Dark  soundscapes  start  off  the  ep  before  going  into  more  of  a  heavier  direction  while  most  of  the  tracks  are  also  very  long  and  epic  in  length.  When  the  music  speeds  up  a  great  amount  of  tremolo  picking  and  blast  beats  can b e  heard  which  also  gives  the  songs  more  of  a  raw  feeling  and  the  solos  and  leads  are  also  done  in  a  very  melodic  style.

  Throughout  the  recording  you  can  also h ear  a  good  mixture  of  slow,  mid  paced  and  fast  parts  while  all  of  the  musical  instruments  also  have  a  very  powerful  sound  to  them.  Vocals  are  mostly  high  pitched  black  emtal  screams  along  with  the  riffs  also  adding  in  a  decent  amount  of  melody  and  the  music  also  has  its  atmospheric  moments,  synths  can  also  be  heard  briefly  and  acoustic  guitars  are  added  on  the  closing  track.

  Shrouded  plays  a  style  of  black  emtal  that  is  very  aggressive,  melodic  and  atmospheric  sounding.  The  production  sounds  very  dark  and  raw  while  the  lyrics  cover  dark  and  mysterious  themes.  

  In  my  opinion  Shrouded  are  a  very  great  sounding  aggressive  and  melodic  black  metal  band  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  this  musical  genre,  you  should  check  out  this  ep.  RECOMMENDED  TRACK  "III".  8  out  of  10. occultblackmetalzine
